A reader has drawn our attention to a 1965 painting by Carroll Cloar entitled “Where The Southern Cross The Dog” which depicts a railway crossing in Moorhead, Mississippi. This railway crossing became part of the lyric in W.C. Handy‘s Yellow Dog Blues.

Our reader was wondering whether we knew where he could buy a print of this painting. We couldn’t find any available prints of this painting. If any of our readers know of any commercially available prints of this Carroll Cloar painting, please let us know via the dialog box below. We will pass the information along.

I have a copy of this Carroll Cloar print, although it is somewhat faded due to a previous owner having displayed it in a sunny area. I took it out of its frame, as the frame was worn and outdated. I purchased the print at an estate sale out of Macon, Georgia some time ago. You may give interested purchasers my email address, and I can send them some photos if they are interested. Thank you!
